Little ironwood bendy (scrapwood)

[half eye]

Thanks for the compliments fellas, like was said though it was really a dry run to see about hunting weight from it's fatter brother....we'll see.

Don, ya know I aint scared to break 'em, this guy must have just give up

Wiz, I cant say for the others because we have mostly all hophornbeam in these parts, dont know about none of the others....got to believe they would be good as well.

Ya ocean spray is known as iron wood in these parts. I'd love to try HHB

[H Rhodes]

That one has your signature perfect bend.

Thanks Howard, but we both know it aint perfect, but good enough to get away with,eh?

Wiz, when this crappy white stuff leaves the woods I'll be out getting some, glad to send ya some bud shoot me a pm?

Howard is right, classic Bend from Rich. You inspire me to quite wasting wood and just grab a sliver and kill something. Danny

Master of the short bows....looks great

I was wondering if it was Musclewood or Am. Hophornbeam....

[simson]

Not much wood there, but a great bow. The bend is just beautiful.

Thanks again fellas, much appreciated.

Ya make a mean bow yourself there Sidewinder

nclonghunter, this is hophornbeam, we dont have the musclewood this far north. I have seen muscle wood before but never worked any of it.

Thank you simon, appreciate your opinion

is this ironwood the same thing as sheoak/austrailian pine?

cause if it is i have 10gazillion of those things within walking distance of my house.   not to mention 3 very nice straight saplings drying on my balcony...

not to highjack, but I know I read on here that sheoak WILL make a bow, might want to do a search. 

Rich, as always, great bow.  I love me some shortbows, I really do.

No super glue in those checks? Your gonna get a knot on you head if she blows young man.
Nice bend on that bow Rich. The ironwood must be tough stuff.

Hey B2, I'm already nuts, and used to play college level hockey (goaltender) so no worries sir, no brains and the skull is full knots already, Mind those odd noises still get a sphincter response.
